You are bidding on a 1985 European Mercedes Benz 280te with a very rare 5 speed. Car runs and drives great and blows COLD Air conditioning! Engine has a lot of power and is suspect of being rebuilt. There are some numbers on the back of the engine. 5 speed transmission is suspect of being rebuilt as well. Transmission is very tight and smooth. Clutch is brand new and everything else mechanically looks and drives in great condition. Body of this wagon is very clean and originally midnight blue ( dunkelblau). There are two rust holes in both rear 1/4 panels. Very small holes and can be fixed easily and spot painted. Interior is in good shape with cream beige leather seats but has signs of being 28 years old. This is a well optioned European Wagon; 5 speed transmission, roof rack delete, badge delete on hatch, power windows,air conditioning, lumbar seats, leather seats, and a tachometer.

Car runs and drives great and is a beautiful wagon. I had a reputable Northern California Mercedes mechanic go over the car with me when I bought it. After looking over the car and driving it. We suspect the car was well taken care of with a rebuilt/replaced engine and a rebuilt transmission. That being said, it is 28 years old and has never been restored. It was in a small fender bender in 1997 and now has a reconstructed title. It's been on the road in Oregon for the past 15-16 years since the accident with no problems. I bought the car and a month later decided to move to Hawaii. I am selling all my Mercedes stuff in the next 6 months and this is the first to go. You will get the reconstructed title from Oregon along with all paperwork I have. I will also give new owner a notarized bill of sale from me. If you are not ok with this, please do not bid. I can legally sell the car because it was signed off to me. I will now sign off for new owner.  California bidders, I will not smog this car. Carfax shows the car was smogged in Oregon five times in the last ten years and passed. I have the carfax report for anyone interested in seeing it. This car is being sold in as is condition described in words and pictures. Please view the car before auction ends. I have no problem showing the car to potential buyers. Failure to view the car before the auction ends is not the sellers responsibility. This is the buyers responsibility.  There are no refunds; you bid, you pay, you pick up or have a car transport company pick the vehicle up for you. I have no problem assisting in transporting but it's your financial responsibility. If you want to fly in and see the car, I will pick you up from the airport free of charge. If you have any questions about the car, now is the time to ask me all the questions you can think of. Please do not ask me ANY questions after the auction about the car unless it pertains to payment and pick up. It is frustrating as a seller to have to answer questions when you have 7 days of auction to ask me anything you want. Please have all approvals from your wife, spouse, daughter, dog or pastor before bidding. That excuse is no longer a valid one. I have a great feedback rating for a reason and I would like to keep it that way. If you want it, bid your heart away. If you don't want this car, there are other cool w123 cars out there for sale.  :)

I am open to selling the car world wide. Cost of shipping is still the buyers responsibility. Car is for sale locally and in other venues. I reserve the right to end the auction early. Remember the car is for sale when money is present. I would love to see it go to a good home! $500 deposit due within 24hrs of end of auction. Remainder due within 7 days from the end of auction. Payment should be cash in person or bank wire transfer before the car is picked up. Not the same day. Waiting at my bank for 5 hours waiting for the wire is not an option. Please, any questions feel free to email me and go from there. Thanks

Vin number wdb1230931f046171 is a grey market vin number not intended for the United States. This car at some point was brought into the country from another country.

Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid for fat cats frugal with fuel

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Judging by how long we waited to get a clear shot of the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid, you'd have thought hybrid cars were only driven by Terminators and that the technology arrived only 48 hours ago through a wormhole in the Mercedes stand. The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hybrid band - joining the S400 Hybrid and S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, it hits notes like a 5.5-second sprint from standstill to 62 miles per hour, up to 19 miles of ion-powered running and uses three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in Europe (78.41 mpg US, but our mpg test cycle is different than their mpg test cycle).
The lump up front is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6, the lump in back - note the reduction in trunk space - is a pack of lithium-ion batteries that juice an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Other than having four drive options for controlling electric drive and battery usage, it's all S-Class all the time, with leather-covered everything and those mountainous thrones that bring to mind words like "Archduke" and "Papal."
You'll find our hard-earned gallery from the Frankfurt Motor Show floor above, and more words of information in the press release below.

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
